Funeral Hotdish Recipes

Steps:

• Cook beef in large skillet over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Transfer beef to a bowl.
• Cook macaroni, bell pepper, and onion in the same skillet over medium heat for 3 minutes. Add cooked beef, tomato sauce, tomatoes, Worcestershire sauce, soy sauce, salt, basil, oregano, ground black pepper, chili powder, garlic powder, and hot pepper sauce. Pour in beef broth. Cover skillet and simmer until macaroni is tender, about 15 minutes. Remove lid and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 5 to 10 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Lightly grease a casserole dish.
• Mix crackers and butter together in a medium bowl and set aside.
• Mix chicken, green beans, cream of mushroom soup, Cheddar cheese, sour cream, onion, bell pepper, garlic powder, salt, and pepper together in a large mixing bowl. Stir in half of the cracker mixture. Pour mixture into the prepared casserole dish. Top with remaining cracker mixture.
• Bake in the preheated oven until bubbly, about 35 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350°F with the rack in the middle position. Clean and chop the celery into bite-size pieces. Put them in a frying pan with a little butter and start cooking them over low heat, stirring occasionally. Peel and chop the onions into bite-sized pieces. Add them to the frying pan with the celery and continue to cook them, stirring occasionally, until they're translucent. Brown the hamburger over medium heat. Be sure to "chop" it with a spoon or heat-resistant spatula so it browns in bite-size pieces. You can do this in a pan in the oven. Cook the elbow macaroni according to the directions on the box. Combine the undiluted tomato soup, the tomato juice, and the ketchup. Mix in the brown sugar and the pepper. You can do this right in the electric roaster and heats it before adding the other ingredients. Add the cooked celery and onions to the sauce and stir them in. Stir in the browned hamburger. Add the cooked, drained macaroni and mix well. Once everything is thoroughly mixed, cover the disposable roaster with heavy duty foil and put it into a 350°F. oven for 2 hours, stirring occasionally so that it heats evenly and doesn't stick to the bottom. (If you used an electric roaster, put on the lid, turn it up to 350°F., and cook it for 2 hours, stirring occasionally so that it heats evenly and doesn't stick to the bottom of the roaster.) Notes: This is easiest with three people helping: one person to chop and sauté the celery and onions, one person to brown the hamburger, and one person to cook the pasta and mix the sauce.
